2 strikes on my DAC

Many will disagree with me, but you must protect yourself and your future prospects for a job. The guy that won't hire you, has a job, you don't. "I was eating in the truckstop, and when I returned to the truck, where I was legally parked, someone had bumped my tractor, or trailer, etc., the other drivers parked near me didn't see who it was." Carry a roll of grey & roll of white duct tape, and two cans of spray paint, one flat black & one flat white to hide minor damage. I've had to do this maybe 2 or 3 times in 25 years of driving. Never had to use the "someone hit me while I was eating" cover though, but know many drivers who have. Protect yourself and your job. I'm accident free.

 

Your best bet would be to do some online applications and keep your fingers crossed. Google : truck driver jobs & do one application on each website. Also, go to Careerbuilder & see whats there. Do you live in/near Nashville? If so, check drayage/container companies there & go in person, dressed very neat & clean, to Springfield and talk to Hoge Motor Company, they're covered wagons & Hoge is a very good company. Stop by Goodlettsville, the Associated Grocer Company & talk to the transportation dept.; the transportation dept is outsourced to a trucking company. US Food Service & Western Express in Nashville always looking for drivers. Good luck.

If Maverick will take you back, go back!

 

Another good place to look for local jobs: go to cement companies & find out which tanker companies deliver their drybulk cement powder. Doesn't require hazmat for these jobs. These are usually local tanker companies that deliver drybulk cement powder and fly ash to job sites such as contruction or roadbuilding & to ready mix companies. Most are home every night jobs.

 

Careerbuilder would be a good place to look under those circumstances.

Well it looks to me that you really have three strikes against you, two preventable accidents and leaving an employer without giving notice, or what they told you was a proper notice. I know this sounds lousy, and I am sorry to read you lost your home, however you didn't give a notice and that is all any company will read or hear about. Get your DAC and see what it says, only then can you plot your next move.
